| Several weeks ago I used milk and baking soda on grass to get rid of mildew. I'm not sure but now I have tan grass in these spots and in a little more areas. It has been HOT and raining like crazy here and I was wanting to put Milgranite down for my summer fertilizer. Can I still use the corn meal just in case this is a fungus on grass or would that be too much fertilizer? |

| Baking soda is fungicide meaning it kills good and bad fungi in the soil. No idea how long it takes for baking soda to go away but you will have to apply compost to re-introduce beneficial fungi to the soil. I wouldn't use baking soda again. Go with corn meal instead. Maybe Actinovate or Rootshield. Organic fertilizer won't burn your lawn. Go for it. |

| I don't mean to hyjack your thread, but I'm wondering if this is the same cornmeal used to make cornbread that you buy at the grocery store? |

| Feed grade corn meal is similar to food grade. The difference is in how the corn was stored before it was ground. |
